A really strange question I know, but what would you call my haircolor? I've always thought of it as a redish lightbrown, my mum says red, a relative says "no way that's anything red, its brown!". So I thought of asking the experts! :D

First pic taken in natural light, the other with flash.

And slightly combed out - whole hair - natural light pic (and I think I've hit TB! :cheese:)

Hm.. .it's a lighter version of my hair :D I would say it's a darker strawberry blond.... maybe?

Brown? I'd go for dark blond :D

eta: my sister's hair has a similar color, I think it's called "venetian blond" or something.

I'd have called it reddish blonde - it's beautiful whatever colour you want to call it!

In the first pic it looks kind of auburn, but in the third, it looks like a dark strawberry blond. Beautiful no matter what color it is!

Hmm, hard to say. In the first two it looks reddish-brown, but in the third it looks strawberry blonde. Either way, there is definitely some red in there!

My vote would be for "honey blonde" more amber than either red or brown.

Definitely not brown... strawberry blonde? or Dark Blonde?

Dark strawberry blonde, I'd say. Definitely not brown if you asked me! And it looks like you have hit tailbone, so congrats! :)

Strawberry blonde or light auburn. I think they're the same thing, basically, though you tend towards more red than brown.

Not brown, not red, and not dark blonde, but somewhere in the middle of all three.

Pretty!

It's a shade of blonde. I call mine chameleon blonde -- it ranges from milk chocolate through red to silvery blonde, depending on the light.

From the pictures you posted, yours is the same way.

I might call that a really light auburn. Whatever you want to call it, it's gorgeous!

It looks to be a similar color to mine, and I call mine dark blonde.

It looks like a dark strawberry blonde to me. It definitely has red tones in it, and it's gorgeous!

I, too, am thinking strawberry blonde. It's definitely reddish, though, but not red enough or dark enough for auburn in my mind. And I would definitely say blonder than browner. HTH!

Ooooh you and I are hair twins!!! I call mine Honey Almond with Auburn Highlights :-) It's because I once had a honey almond lipgloss that was the exact same color as my hair LOL

Gorgeous! And we're at the same length, too :-D How long has it taken you? I had jaw-length hair 15 years ago.

Thank you all for the help! And for the kind words :flower:

I actually used to hate my haircolor and wanted to dye it, but luckily my mum talked sence into me/forbid me! 'Cause now I love it! :D I think I'll go with strawberry blonde/tawny.:cheese:

wendy645, nice to find a hairtwin! My hair was chin-length maybe 6-7 years ago, then maintained at something between BSL and waist for a couple of years (didn't really think of having it longer, I didn't know any good updo before coming to LHC so it was a pain to keep nice). But I think it's time to take of maybe 1-2 inches now so that I get rid of some of the taper caused by ponytaildamage.
